Insights and Updates from our App Development Journey
We’ve refreshed the app icons for Area, DistancePinner, Elevation, and AddressFinder with a clean new look — no more gradients!
These new designs are simpler, bolder, and ready for the future. Starting with iOS 26, Apple will apply subtle automatic effects to app icons. Our updated icons are built to work beautifully with that change — no distortion, no weird overlays, just clean visuals that adapt.
Update your apps now to see the new icons in action!
More improvements coming soon.
Over the past few months, we’ve made huge progress on our iOS apps — from UI redesigns to better localization and new features. Now it’s time to bring that same energy to Android!
We currently have 4 apps live on Google Play:
Coordinates
Distance
Elevation
BlastSim
While Elevation and BlastSim are built with Flutter and already optimized for modern devices, Coordinates and Distance needed some attention.
✅ We’ve just released updates that:
Fix layout issues where device corners and camera notches blocked key UI elements
Restore missing translations
Tweak and clean up misplaced UI components
📌 We’ve also officially sunset the Android version of InspireMe, which will no longer receive updates or support. Thank you to everyone who supported it over the years!
Quality-of-life first — Our top priority is ensuring smooth and stable performance. That means no crashes, no broken layouts.
After that, we’ll incrementally bring over the new iOS features, one step at a time.
If there’s anything you want us to expedite or prioritize, feel free to email us — we’d love to hear from you.
And honestly: we’d love to see more downloads on the Android side! More interest = more focus, faster progress.
Thanks for sticking with us — exciting updates ahead!
Another one of our apps just got a refresh!
We’ve updated Area & Distance – Map Measure with:
🌍 17 languages now supported, including Thai, Korean, Italian, Vietnamese, Indonesian, French, Arabic, and Hebrew
🖼️ Updated screenshots and improved UI
📝 Reviewed and added missing texts across all languages
🔠 Larger, bolder labels for better readability
If you haven’t tried it in a while, now’s a great time to take a fresh look. Thanks for your support!
We’re excited to announce the release of GeoLogger version 2.0 — a total refresh focused on clarity, speed, and global reach.
This isn’t just a routine update — it’s a full relaunch built around your feedback and our vision for what a modern GPS tool should be.
Brand New App Icon
The new icon is clean, bold, and inspired by a car speedometer — instantly recognizable and designed to reflect GeoLogger’s precision, performance, and driving roots.
Redesigned HUD View
Bigger numbers. Cleaner layout. Whether you’re driving, flying, cycling, or running, the new heads-up display is optimized for fast glances and better readability in motion.
Dark Mode Fixes
GeoLogger now looks sharp and consistent in both light and dark modes — no more visual glitches.
New App Store Screenshots
We’ve updated all visuals to better showcase the real-time features, clean layout, and key tools GeoLogger offers.
Higher Recording Frequency
You can now record your trips at 2.0-second intervals, down from the previous 5.0-second minimum — giving you more precise and frequent data updates, especially useful for fast-paced activities like driving or flying.
Localization Review
Every language was reviewed, and missing texts have been restored or rewritten for clarity.
New Language Support
We’ve added full support for:
Arabic
Hebrew
Turkish
Thai
Korean
Vietnamese
Indonesian
Now GeoLogger speaks the language of even more users — with accurate translations and correct formatting throughout.
GeoLogger is more than a speedometer — it’s a GPS multi-tool built for real-world use. From checking your speed and heading to exporting trip logs in .gpx format, every part of the app is designed to be clear, fast, and useful — even in motion.
If you haven’t tried GeoLogger in a while, now’s the perfect time.
Version 2.0 is available soon on the App Store.
We made a tiny adjustment to our App Store screenshots — just enough to center the screen better inside the device frame.
Previously, part of the device border was getting cropped, making the layout feel a bit off. So we nudged things up slightly to restore balance and show the full device properly.
While we were at it, we also reviewed all the app’s localizations. That led to a few minor bug fixes in the translations — nothing huge, just good housekeeping.
Sometimes it’s all about the little things. 🧘♂️
In 2025, we rewrote the entire Apple Watch app from scratch — focused on speed, clarity, and big, bold buttons for easy use in the field.
Today, we’re bringing back a fan favorite: the Map View from the original version.
Now you can toggle the live map directly on your Apple Watch.
✅ Clean coordinate display when you need precision
✅ Tap the 🗺 button to switch the map on or off anytime
It’s the best of both: a clear readout and a live map, right on your wrist.
We kept what worked. We brought back what you missed.
New in version 9.9.1: Rotate the Digital Crown to zoom the map in and out.
We’ve launched a new page to better showcase one of our most popular tools — Coordinates.
This update brings more clarity, highlights key features, and presents the app with the focus it deserves. Clean visuals, direct explanations, and a streamlined layout help you quickly see what makes Coordinates stand out.
Whether you're sharing the app with a colleague or revisiting it yourself, this is the new go-to link.

We're continuing to improve how our apps are presented and discovered — and this is just one of many steps forward.
We’ve tested iOS 26 on all our apps — and the good news is, everything works perfectly.
No crashes, no major bugs. All features behave exactly as before.
The interface remains consistent, and there’s no need for any UI updates at this time. Our current focus remains on improving visibility, usability, and making sure your tools stay fast, reliable, and intuitive.
As always, thanks for using our apps!
After three months of nonstop coding, designing, testing, rewriting, and polishing… we’re calling it.
This marks the end of a massive development cycle — and without exaggeration, it’s the biggest one we’ve ever had.
📊 In the last 90 days:
• 89,846 lines of code added
• 28,424 lines removed
• 118,270 total lines changed
📝 Over 10,000 words updated across documentation, settings, tooltips, and translations
📚 Help guides were fully rewritten to reflect the new UI and functionality
🚀 Q2 2025 is officially the most ambitious and productive quarter in Coordinates history
Here’s just a taste of what we’ve added since April:
✅ Major UI Redesign across the entire app — cleaner layout, smoother workflows, and more intuitive tools
🌍 Big localization review — improved clarity across existing languages and expanded support for:
Arabic, Indonesian, Korean, Turkish, Vietnamese, and Hebrew
⌚ A brand new Apple Watch app, rewritten in SwiftUI for speed and simplicity
🛠️ A powerful Transformation Tool — shift, rotate, and scale shapes with precision
📹 Support for RTSP video streaming, file previews, and attachments
🖼️ Attach photos to pins, with a revamped pin details view
🧮 Built-in Unit Converter, covering over 40 categories
✍️ Full shape drawing toolkit — draw lines, circles, rectangles, and polygons
🧭 New GPS Manager Page — view fix type, accuracy, altitude, speed, timestamp, and source
📦 Multiple export/import formats supported: KML, GeoJSON, GPX
📸 Export with photo attachments now supported in ZIP packages
🔄 Improved Save/Load screen with embedded map previews
📋 Updated object list view with better hierarchy, sorting, and emoji indicators
🪧 New Signal Board — display fullscreen text messages on your device
🚗 Fullscreen Speedometer, available in analog and digital styles
This isn't just a big update — it’s a total leap forward in what Coordinates can do.
To reflect all these updates, we’ve also refreshed our App Store screenshots across all supported languages and devices.
The new visuals show off the latest UI redesign, shape drawing tools, GPS dashboard, and more — giving new users a better sense of what Coordinates can do right out of the box.
We waited until the app felt complete — and now it does.
Since 2019, we’ve kept our subscription price unchanged — through every feature, redesign, and expansion. We’ve done our best to absorb rising costs, but to continue improving the app sustainably, we’ll be adjusting the price for new users starting August 2025.
Expect a small increase of $1–$2 per month
Current subscribers will not be affected
Your current price will stay the same as long as your subscription remains active
We believe this change is fair and necessary to keep Coordinates strong and supported for the long run.
Over the years, we’ve seen many apps charge $10/month while offering less than 25% of what Coordinates can do. Our goal has always been to offer far more — at a much more accessible price.
Thanks again for your trust, feedback, and support over the years.
We’re building Coordinates for explorers, professionals, and everyone in between — and we’re not slowing down anytime soon.

P.S. With WWDC 2025 here, we’re already exploring what’s next — including potential support for the new “Liquid Glass” UI style if feasible. Stay tuned.
We’re excited to release version 9.8.5 of Coordinates — our most extensive update in years. From a full Apple Watch overhaul to deeper GPS insights and new language support, this update brings a refreshed experience across every platform.
We’ve scrapped the old design and completely rebuilt the Apple Watch app using SwiftUI.
The new version is:
Big, clean, and focused — coordinates are front and center
Designed for quick glances with no clutter
Operated with a single button for instant access or switching formats
It’s the simplest, fastest way to check your location on your wrist — whether in the field or on the move.
In preparation for upcoming external GPS support, we’ve added a dedicated GPS Manager page.
Even with just internal GPS, you can now view:
Accuracy (horizontal & vertical)
Altitude, speed, and course
Fix type, update rate, and timestamp
Device model and source info
This page will evolve as we integrate Bluetooth GPS devices in future updates.
We’ve added a fullscreen mode to the Speedometer with a sleek HUD-style interface.
Supports:
Light and dark themes
Real-time speed updates
Works with internal GPS, with external Bluetooth GPS support coming soon.
Perfect for driving, cycling, or just testing GPS performance.
We’ve added full localization for 6 more languages:
Vietnamese
Korean
Turkish
Arabic
Indonesian
Hebrew
We also performed a deep cleanup across all existing translations to fix phrasing, alignment, and consistency issues.
For the first time in over 4 years, we’ve updated our App Store screenshots across all supported languages. These now reflect the latest UI — including shape tools, object editing, and the new User Grid system.
🔄 What’s New in Coordinates 9.8.5
A modernized experience on all devices
Deep GPS insights & fix status
Improved speed tracking
Localization upgrades
Clean, accurate App Store visuals
With this release, we’re slowing the pace of major updates. The app now feels complete — stable, polished, and full-featured — so we don’t expect large UI changes going forward. That’s why we chose now to refresh all screenshots.
📚 What’s Next
Our next priority is updating the documentation to match the latest version.
We’re also preparing for external hardware integration — and we won’t launch version 10.0 until at least one hardware device is fully supported.
Thanks for being part of the journey.
